Home 9 Family Economic Security 9 Janesville Council Resolves to End Child Poverty

On Monday night, the Janesville City Council passed a resolution in support of the goals of our Vision 2020 Campaign to End Child Poverty. The text of the resolution does not seem to be online yet, but according to the Janesville Gazette report (you can save time by skipping to the very last line of the story), a task force will be formed by August, and a report outlining action steps produced within six months. Janesville joins La Crosse and Dane Counties as public bodies officially proclaiming their support for the notion of obliterating child poverty in Wisconsin.
